An investor purchased 200 shares of DCAST common stock at $200 per share. What is the adjusted cost basis per share of this position after the company pays a 100% stock dividend?

$100. The total value of the initial position is unchanged, remaining at $40,000 (200 times $200). After the stock dividend, the investor owns 400 shares (200 times 100% = 200 + 200 = 400). Therefore, the adjusted cost basis is $100.00 per share ($40,000 divided by 400 = $100).

A corporation is having a rights offering. The terms of the offering require six rights plus $60 to purchase one share. With the stock's current market price at $74 per share, the theoretical value of one right before the ex-rights date is

$2.00. Because the question is asking about the value before ex-rights, it means we use the cum-rights (with rights) formula; that is, the market price minus the subscription price divided by the number of rights it takes to buy one share plus one. Plugging in the numbers gives us ($74 - $60) ÷ (6 + 1) = $14 ÷ 7 = $2.00.
